Tomorrow at 8:45 AM he will have a laryngoscopy and a stroboscopy followed by an EKG. Then at 7:10 PM he will be prepped for a CT scan at 8:00 PM.

Laryngoscopy: an examination a doctor uses to look at the back of the throat, including the voice box (larynx) and vocal cords by using a thin flexible telescope that is passed through the nose and carries a small camera and a bright light. This enables the the doctors to look at the details of the vocal folds while they are moving and while you are breathing and talking. Because it is important to see the fine details of the vocal cords while they are opening, closing, and vibrating, we use a technique known as stroboscopy – a video version of the above.

On Wednesday we will be involved in more prep for upcoming procedures and consultation.

The team of doctors will be meeting on Thursday and will let us know on Friday what they suggest or what treatment they feel is necessary.

We can’t say enough good things about this centre. Everyone has been so helpful, friendly and professional. We really got the Team spirit feeling from everyone there and all of the procedures today went off like clockwork. We feel very fortunate and confident that we are in the best place in the world for the best care in the world.
